Porcelain Veneers
West LA » Porcelain Veneers
Most people think of the perfect smile as having white, straight, and shining teeth. However, sometimes our natural smiles do not live up to the expectations we have, especially here in Hollywood. When teeth are extremely discolored, crooked, and/or otherwise damaged, porcelain veneers can be a great option for completely re-doing a smile.
Teeth that are a little crooked can be fixed with braces or Invisalign. Teeth that are stained due to external causes (staining from coffee, red wine, or smoking) can be whitened with bleaching systems. Teeth that are chipped can be filled and bonded. However, teeth that have a combination of these problems, or that have been stained due to internal causes (issues with your natural enamel or fluoride intake), may need something more advanced to be corrected. For this, we here at CCIND suggest porcelain veneers.
If the professionals here at CCIND determine that porcelain veneers are right for you, the next step is for you and the dentist together to determine what size, shape, and style of veneers are right for you. It is important to consider what size and shape will look best in order to complement your facial structure and natural smile and mouth shape.
At your next visit, the teeth must be prepared for veneers. To accomplish this, the teeth are filed down to remove much of the natural enamel on your teeth, to make room for the veneers to fit in place. In order to protect your teeth while your permanent veneers are being crafter, temporary ones will be put into place. This allows for time to perfectly craft your veneers to your specifications. Finally, your veneers will be put in place, and you are free to go. As with any procedure, the staff here at CCIND will be happy to answer any questions you have after the veneers are put into place, and will also be happy to make any adjustments you desire.
